My 7-year-old son is a mouth breather but doesn't have any infections. He didn't used to get colds or coughs often, but now it's happening more frequently. We've tried nasal sprays like physiomer, but he still breathes through his mouth. Should we consider surgery or wait for his adenoids to shrink on their own? Could this mouth breathing affect his physical or mental growth?

View allMy vertigo issue hasn't gotten any better, and I'm not seeing any improvement. You mentioned I should avoid exercises, so I've been steering clear of them. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with it? I'm feeling a bit stuck and would love some guidance on next steps.
Vertigo can be a challenging condition to manage. Since you are not seeing any improvement and avoiding exercises as advised, I recommend trying medication to help alleviate your symptoms. You can try taking Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

My mom is 66 and has severe asthma. She's had a pleomorphic adenoma in her parotid gland for 20 years and was advised to get a superficial parotidectomy. But her pulmonologist said local anesthesia would be safer due to her lung condition. We're in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh can you recommend a surgeon who can do this procedure under local anesthesia?
For superficial parotidectomy under local anesthesia, consult major ENT hospitals in Visakhapatnam—seek anesthesiologist with high-risk surgery experience.
